“Angie was great. She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout the entire time she took care of both our pups. The pups were healthy and happy and our home was kept clean. We would have her house sit for us again.”

“Jessikah is an incredible pet sitter! She spent a long weekend house- and pet-sitting for me, from a Thursday evening through Sunday evening, staying overnights. She kept my house very clean, watered my front garden, and - most importantly - was super attentive to both of my pets. My cat is not particularly fond of new people, and Jessikah really put on the effort to put Angrboda at ease and try to get her to play, despite being hissed at. My dog is easier, but Jessikah went the extra mile cuddling with him loads and walking him (he pulls; walks are optional) during her stay. I got incredible photos of both pets every day. When I got home from my trip, my pets were not stressed and anxious that I'd been away, which is extremely important to me. I cannot recommend Jessikah enough, and I am so happy to have found another pet sitter I can rely on and call back for future travel.”

“Laura’s first time dog sitting for us went smoothly. This was an overnight trip. She sent us photo updates and was responsive when we texted to check in. When we got home, the house was tidy, their water bowls were filled, and Cannoli and Da Vinci were in good spirits. We’ve booked Laura for an extended stay while we’re on an international trip. Thanks, Laura!”

“Salina was very punctual and communicative. She stayed at our house and took care of our senior dog and outdoor cats for 2 days and we felt totally comfortable with her making sure everyone was well taken care of!”

“Lady loves Melina! Melina is very friendly and relaxed, our puppy Lady is very comfortable with her, and she’s also very knowledgeable which is great for new puppy parents like us. Thanks Melina!”

“Dane is an incredible dog sitter! This was his second time watching Noah and it went so smoothly. He is very communicative, gives excellent updates, and Noah absolutely loves him. Will definitely book with him in the future. He took Noah for lots of great walks, had playtime and training time with him, and I genuinely feel like I had peace of mind while traveling that Noah was getting exceptional care tailored to his needs and personality.”

“Alyssa is amazing! Our pups were so happy to stay with her, and she left our home super clean. We have an older pup who has a lot of special needs, and Alyssa always pays special attention to detail. She’s just the best and our pups agree!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Korin. She took care of our 3 year old, highly energetic/anxious pup Louie for a full day at our home. Louie quickly warmed up to Korin and enjoyed plenty of cuddles and playtime throughout the day. Korin was positive, caring, communicative, and clearly has a lot of experience caring for pets. We would work with her again in a heartbeat.”

“G’La was amazing! She took such great care of Tuna and Finn while we were away for two nights and two and a half days. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. She was communicative, kind, and clearly loves animals — Tuna and Finn were so calm and happy when we got back. Couldn’t recommend her more. Will definitely be reaching out again!”

“Qishu was great with my dog! She has a hard time warming up to new people and Qishu was very patient with her and gave her lots of extra TLC. I got lots of pics and updates so I knew she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again!”
“Hamed took great care of Duke over the course of the week we spent abroad. He was staying at our home, regularly checked our mail and took great care of the place, leaving it in pristine condition. Communication with Hamed was pleasant, prompt, and frequent. He would regularly sent us photos of Duke having a great time. We felt at peace leaving Duke in Hamed's care and we will definitely reach out to Hamed in the future.”

“Ammy watched our dog at our apartment for a long weekend and we felt very at-ease while away. She comforted our nervous pup during the 4th of July fireworks, in which we were grateful. Ammy’s communication, kindness, and wit are the perfect combo for dog responsibility. Will definitely book in the future with her.”

“Shivani was incredible and the best sitter we’ve had! She took such great care of our pup, our two cats, and our home. Our pup is fairly reactive and has some big feelings about the world, so it can be hard to find people she is comfortable with. She seemed to be quite at ease with Shivani and enjoyed her time with her! Our shy cat also loved Shivani! Shivani also sent a lot of updates about our pets, which was soooo incredibly helpful and really put us at ease while we were away! Truly can’t say enough positive things about her and we will definitely ask her to sit for us in the future!”

“Thank you Charlii for taking amazing care of Mia! Charlii did an incredible job keeping Mia active and happy. We were a little nervous leaving our dog for the first time since we moved to NY, but Charlii made us feel immediately at ease and comfortable with all of the updates and pictures. We are so thankful of the great care, and will definitely be going to Charlii next time we are out of town!”

“Alejandra took excellent care of our three dogs, and our home. She communicated well, and transparently, which helped keep us informed on the health and welfare of our “kids”, one of whom was still recovering from dental surgery. She even took her to her follow-up vet visit. When we returned after our 11 day vacation, the house was clean and tidy and the dogs were clearly bonded with her. We will gladly book with Alejandra for all of pur future vacations!”

“Erin was amazing. My dog has anxiety and normally when I return from a break he is a nervous wreck. It was cleared he spent his time with Erin alternating between snuggles and hiking. We received many photos and had great communication the whole time we were away. The house was left spotless and possibly cleaner than before!”

“Stephanie came through extremely last minute for my family when we were in desperate need of help! It was a stressful situation and she came in and saved the day while all family members were out of town. Thank you so much for taking care of Finn, we are grateful for you!”
